Kanye West 'picks baby name'

Kanye West reportedly wants to call his baby North.

The international rap star and girlfriend Kim Kardashian are currently expecting their first child together.

Kanye allegedly came up with a list of potential names for the new arrival while at Paris Fashion Week last month and North is said to be his favourite so far.

Up until now there has been speculation the baby - thought to be a girl - will have a name starting with a K in keeping with Kardashian family tradition.

Meanwhile, Kanye is said to be also working out a name for his new album. The 35-year-old star is considering calling his next musical offering I Am God.

"Kanye's ego is something else, so he's quite serious about the title," a source told British newspaper The Sun.

"He also has a sense of humour though and knows how his self-indulgence is seen by the general public. It's half tongue-in-cheek, half what Kanye probably feels is true."

It was recently revealed that pregnant Kim - who is due in July - is considering surgery to regain her pre-pregnancy figure.

The beauty's aunt Joan Kardashian revealed that her niece is struggling to accept her changing body.

"[Kim] can have a tummy tuck, which will take care of most of her weight fears," she told Canada's Now magazine.

'Other than her belly, which is rather flat, every other part of her body has ballooned. And this is Kim holding to a strict diet. Imagine if she let herself go? The family's trying to convince Kim to relax and worry about losing the weight months from now.'
